ZACH POV

"THIS IS A CODE BLACK ALL STUDENTS SHOULD STAY WHERE THEY ARE. NO ONE LEAVES AND NO ONE GETS IN. THIS IS A CODE BLACK, I REPEAT CODE BLACK. ANY STUDENTS FOUND WANDERING THE HALLS WILL BE SEVERLY QUESTIONED."

This was said twice and then there was only a low sounding wail like a fire alarm except this was worse. A fire could be cause because of a million reasons and there were always practice drills. But code blacks were only for one reason; someone was trying to get in to Blackthorne.

"Uhm…Zach?" Cammie looked at me with wide eyes. She looked calm but then again, I'm sure I did too. That's what we were trained to do. She may have been a spy and I may have been an assassin but our training was, in most ways, very similar.

"Shit. If we're found here or in a hall we'll be in some serious trouble."

She nodded her head and walked towards the side of the passageway where we entered. She looked out a crack that I hadn't noticed before and waved me over.

"look, there's no way out. Even if we got out of this passageway the hallway is closed so we'd be trapped. What should we do?"

I looked through the crack and saw what she was talking about. There was a steel wall blocking the path we'd taken to get in here. There had to be another way.

"Will…" Was she seriously thinking about him, now? I thought she didn't even like him.

"What about him?" I asked trying to hide as much of my annoyance as possible.

Even if she heard it she seemed unfazed when she answered, "We could go to Will's room! Then we would be able to say we were there when the code black occurred."

I smiled "You, Gallagher Girl, are a genius!"

She smiled a bit and then asked me to lead the way. We were crawling through the route I remembered so well from last year. I used to use it to get away from my idiot roommates and I had never showed it to anyone before, until now. I don't know what possessed me to show her this passageway but I couldn't help it. She intrigued me. She was he chameleon yet I couldn't see how that was possible. How could someone so beautiful be unnoticed? I could feel her breath on the back of my neck now.

"We're almost there." I whispered.

"Shhhhh!" she snapped.

"Wh—"But then I heard what she was hearing.

"Thank god we don't have to guide Hannah and Ashley around anymore" this was Chris' voice that we were hearing through the vents.

"I bet Dan and James don't feel the same way" I heard Will laugh and then one of the other two responded but I couldn't quite hear what they had said.

"Oh please, William, we all know you're only happy for this arrangement because of little Miss Cameron Morgan."

All three guys were laughing at Will now.

"I am not little." I heard Cameron whisper.

I couldn't help it I chuckled a bit. This boy was basically being sharing the fact that he liked her yet, unlike most girls, all she cared about was that his friends were being a bit condescending.

"Hey did you guys hear that?" asked Chris. So I guess she did realize what was happening and was upset that we'd been caught because she slapped me, hard.

"OW!"

"Shut up!"

We were both quiet enough that they didn't hear us so they were shocked when we dropped into their room.

"Hey boys, how's it going?"

Will was the first to speak, "Zach, Cammie how nice of you to drop in…from the vents….in the ceiling."

I laughed a bit, I couldn't help it, and he was blushing all over. Being a spy he must've figured out that we overheard him talking about Cammie. Also, he must've thought we were up to something, which I kind of liked. Wait, what?

Cammie sat down on the bed closest to her and smiled. "We were just, you know, hanging around."

It was weird that she wasn't clearing up what Will was implying, not that I minded. I was just standing there smirking at this encounter it was quite amusing.

"Wait, you guys realize it's a code black, right?" Dan was looking at us suspiciously. It had slipped my mind seeing as how the wail of the alarms was becoming background noise. I cursed myself for being so careless but it was the perfect opportunity to embarrass Will some more.

"Well that didn't stop you from discussing Will's utter love for Cammie."

They all gaped, even Cammie, but Will was blushing. "There was no utter love being discussed."

I scoffed. "Whatever you say, mate," I said imitating him.

I could see a smile playing at Cammie's lips but she just rolled her eyes.

"I was exploring passageways, as I do, when Zach heard me and came to find out what was going on. We were both in one when the Code went off. As we didn't want to get in trouble we followed the passageway towards this room."

"How did you know it was THIS room?" Chris asked skeptically.

Seeing as she didn't say anything to ruin my rep I decided to help her out, "I like spying on you guys because I'm secretly crushing on you."

Of course they didn't believe it because they all knew me as a man version of a slut. Still, they just rolled their eyes and let it slide.

"So what's your excuse for being in our room?"

"We needed help with homework."

"Yeah, that'll help you but how about her, it's after hours, you know?"

Crap, I forgot about that minor detail when Cammie came up with this brilliant idea. I hadn't even realized what time it was. Damn, I was forgetting to notice a lot of things when she was around.

"I was in this hallway coming to visit you to let you know that I will meet you at breakfast instead of go to breakfast with you, seeing as how my mother, the headmistress of Gallagher, asked me to call her tomorrow morning."

"Wait is that the truth or a lie?" James asked. That was the first time he spoke. She just shrugged her shoulders and smiled as a response. Damn.

"THE CODE BLACK HAS BEEN TERMINATED. WOULD CAMERON MORGAN COME TO THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE…IMMEDIATELY?"

That sounded fairly serious, I looked at Cammie and watched as she lost and regained her composure just as fast.

"shit." She muttered right before she left.
